OpenAI is arguing that teenagers should not be excluded from AI tools, and it is pairing that argument with a set of safety measures for ChatGPT. The company says it is adding age-appropriate protections, learning tools, and parental controls, and that it is working with experts to develop the features.
The stated goal is to give teens a useful and safer version of ChatGPT rather than simply blocking them. OpenAI frames access as something that should be enabled responsibly, with guardrails designed around younger users' needs.
